How ๐™ด๐š•๐š•๐šŽ ๐™พ'๐š๐š˜๐šŠ๐š›๐š” does it, I'll never know, but she absolutely creates mesmerizing stories each and every time. Filled with masterfully chiseled plot lines, tenderly chiseled characters that steal your heart, her stories are ones the remain with you long after reading/listening. 

๐‘จ๐’„๐’“๐’๐’”๐’” ๐‘ฌ๐’•๐’†๐’“๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’š is the second part of Henri & Sarah's story. I absolutely devoured the first part of their story and this one?? So gripping! So moving! ๐™ด๐š•๐š•๐šŽ ๐™พ'๐š๐š˜๐šŠ๐š›๐š” had me all up in my feels, from anger to happiness to sadness, the journey she took me on was both nerve wracking, and wild. 

Once again, ๐‘จ๐‘ฌ is a time travel novel set in the 40s. We get not only these characters who are ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ than characters, but we get the historical elements. The details ๐™ด๐™พ weaves into the story is magnificent! 

๐‘†โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘’ ๐ธ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก'๐‘  portrayal of Henri was magnifique! His smoothie voice was absolutely perfect for Henri, filling him with all the emotions! ๐‘†๐‘Ž๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘Ž ๐ต๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘›๐‘ก๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ was once again a queen with Sarah! She made her so real for me! Together, these two told this story in duet style in the most beautiful of ways! 

๐—ข๐˜‚๐˜๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ fans, why are you sleeping on this one!? Grab this entire series up, but especially this duet. It's unforgettable, it's stunning and I want more! Add in the touch of mystery & perfect amount of spice to the story and you won't be able to get enough!

It's been a while since I reviewed a  novella, but oh what a novella it was! ๐™ณ๐™น ๐™บ๐š›๐š’๐š–๐š–๐šŽ๐š› brought us her trademark lovable characters and a captivating plot line! I was hooked instantly! 

Elsie & Grant couldn't be more opposite if they tried. His the guarded grump of Christmas and she's the jolly, sunshiny spirited woman. These two had sparks flying between them the entire time! I loved the touch her and ๐Ÿ’€vibes the jaded Grant gave off when anyone was near Elsie. It made me swoon! Elsie's jolly banter with him was so fun to watch unfold! 

Of course ๐ด๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘Ž ๐‘Š๐‘–๐‘™๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘ค & ๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’ ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘› did a fabtastic job with their narrations! ๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’'๐‘  portrayal of Grant was perfection as he lent the grumpiness to his character! ๐ด๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘Ž did a wonderful job at adding the bubbliness to Elsie! They were perfectly casted to voice these two for sure! 

If you love a jaded grump who only goes soft for his woman, the forbidden aspect of best friend's sibling, holiday romances and perfect disability rep (๐™ณ๐™น ๐™บ๐š›๐š’๐š–๐š–๐šŽ๐š› is the queen of this!), then grab this one up. It's the perfect combo of spice and holiday fun and a great palate cleanser!

๐™ป๐šŽ๐šก๐š’๐šŽ ๐™ฐ๐šก๐šŽ๐š•๐šœ๐š˜๐š—, what on Earth did you just do to me!? You took my heart and my soul, twisted it all up in the best way possible with this addictive story, that's what! Whew. Deep breaths. I'll try not to spoil anything for y'all. 

Y'all, this story, these characters.....truly captivated me. But, be warned, it's definitely toxic in the best way, complete with a non HEA. Millie & Hayden.....I was on the darkest of rollercoaster rides with them. Hayden is absolutely obsessive with Millie. Dude is the best kind of dominating psychopath! 

I found myself so engrossed in the twists and turns of their story. I wanted to reach in and hug Millie so many times! Hayden....albeit the psychopath of a vampire, was absolutely delicious. A truly heartbreaking, epic enemies to lovers romance that doesn't have our usual endings we love. But the ending is still beautifully done! 

๐ฝ๐‘œ๐‘’ ๐ด๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘› lends powerful emotions to Hayden's character. He didn't just voice him. He ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ him. The dominant, depraved soul. Perfection! ๐ฝ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’ ๐บ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘Ž absolutely pours herself into Millie. She lent her voice and made me feel like I was right there beside her. These two did a phenomenal job together! 

๐™ป๐šŽ๐šก๐š’๐šŽ ๐™ฐ๐šก๐šŽ๐š•๐šœ๐š˜๐š— has a talent. She pulls us in, rips our souls out and replaces it with a need for more of this dark paranormal world. Add in all the spicy moments, angst, banter and plot line, and this story is going to wreck you in the best way.

I am falling hard for ๐™ด๐šŸ๐šŽ๐š•๐šข๐š— ๐™ผ๐š˜๐š—๐š๐š๐š˜๐š–๐šŽ๐š›๐šข'๐šœ books, so I was excited to get the chance to listen to this one! It was absolutely perfect! From the characters to the plot line, to the sizzling chemistry, she hooked me from the first word to the last. 

Oh, my dear Noah, you stole my heart! You are southern boy who loves the word Darlin' and you absolutely made me swoon so many times! I loved how it was kismet for Noah when he laid eyes on Eva for the first time. 

Eva is a beautifully chiseled character. I loved her almost as much as I loved Noah. When she's finds herself in a bar, Noah comes in and sweeps her off her feet in a moment of need. 

When these two finally get together, there is a beautiful blend of angst and passion, and so many moments when I wanted to laugh and to cry, both with them and for them! ๐™ด๐šŸ๐šŽ๐š•๐šข๐š— ๐™ผ๐š˜๐š—๐š๐š๐š˜๐š–๐šŽ๐š›๐šข has a knack for creating a story that will leave you wanting to throw things all while simultaneously hugging your kindle/phone. 

๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ฅ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’ ๐‘€๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™ is a queen among the female narrators. She brings it masterfully when she voices Eva, filling her with all the emotions, the frustration, the temptation. She is matched in her talent with ๐‘†๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘  bringing Noah's southern charm to life. The growliness of his voice fit Noah beautifully. They were a fantastic duet combo and brought these characters to life in the best way! 

If you love angst, passion, characters that seal your heart & your soul, and stories that are simply kismet, then grab this one up! You won't be disappointed! Can't wait for the next from this talented author!

I fell in love with ๐™น๐šŽ๐š—๐š—๐š’ ๐™ฑ๐šŠ๐š›๐šŠ'๐šœ writing when I read ๐‘ด๐’๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’Œ๐’†๐’“ earlier this year. I knew then I would remain a fan for life, and I was right. Getting to visit with the Boston Revs characters again was such a delight! 

I adored Christian & Avery. Their story had me hooked from the start and kept me there until the end! I adored how Christian was with Avery. She meant everything to him, and it didn't matter how long it took, he was gonna let her know it. Seeing him be a grump for everyone but her....it was cute and fun! 

I adored the banter that these characters shared. It really kept me giggling throughout! The chemistry between Christian and Avery was amazing. Christian definitely had me swooning! 

๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ ๐ถ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘ ....how how that man narrated the heck out of Christian! He was the right man for the job because he brought the banter, he brought the feelings, he absolutely nailed it! Alongside his amazing narration was the talented ๐‘…๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘’ ๐ท๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ. She did a phenomenal job voicing Avery and her voice flowed beautifully with ๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ'๐‘ ! 

If you love baseball romance filled with fun loving, heart stealing characters you want this. We get visits from some side characters, and we get the most adorable Puffin bird that takes center stage! I am absolutely looking forward to the next installment from ๐™น๐šŽ๐š—๐š—๐š’ ๐™ฑ๐šŠ๐š›๐šŠ!

If there is one thing I love, it's a small town, cowboy romance and this one hit the spot! ๐™บ๐š›๐š’๐šœ๐š๐šŽ๐š— ๐™ฟ๐š›๐š˜๐š‹๐šข knows just what her readers love and she never fails to deliver! Getting to back to the Wild Family and the hills of Montana was a true delight. 

I absolutely loved Millie and Holden. Their story didn't come easily, Holden having to hurt Millie years ago, thanks to his dad. But their second chance, it was of so worth it in the end! Their "marriage" was so worth it! 

The way Holden was with Millie.....can we say SWOON!? I loved every minute of the "my wife" moments, along with their banter, their chemistry....all of it was amazing! The way he wanted to make things right between them, the way he was with loving her? Oh my gosh ๐Ÿ˜. And, Millie was just as awesome as he was. She would do anything for her husband and boy did she! 

Having ๐‘†๐‘’๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐‘Œ๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘˜ lend his deep, growly voice to Holden....it was an epic casting! He truly nailed it with the "my wife" moments and when Millie melted for Holden...so did I ๐Ÿซ ! ๐บ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘’ ๐บ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘ก bringing Millie to life for us was beautifully done! Her voice flowed and truly captivated me. Together, these two ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ Millie & Holden in the best way, making this a delightful journey! 

If you love masterfully chiseled small town romances, you don't want to miss this. ๐™บ๐š›๐š’๐šœ๐š๐šŽ๐š— ๐™ฟ๐š›๐š˜๐š‹๐šข has a wonderful talent for bringing her readers spice, banter, unforgettable characters and captivating plot lines. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!

It's been a hot minute since I read/listed to a romance set in history. I'm a contemporary girl. But, ๐™ณ.๐™ด. ๐™ณ๐š’๐šŽ๐š๐šฃ'๐šœ ๐‘ฏ๐’†๐’‚๐’“๐’•๐’” ๐‘ฏ๐’†๐’๐’… ๐‘ฉ๐’š ๐‘ฉ๐’‚๐’“๐’ƒ๐’†๐’… ๐‘พ๐’Š๐’“๐’† was a refreshing break from my contemporary listens. I am a huge fan of anything 1920s, so I devoured this one!

โ€Œ
๐™ณ๐š’๐šŽ๐š๐šฃ adds the perfect amount of intrigue & angst with this one. From the murder mystery elements to the brooding, boy obsessed vibes of Everett, to the blossoming mafia queen that was Brielle, every second of this story kept me on the edge of my seat!
โ€Œ
Let's talk about ๐ด๐‘™๐‘™๐‘–๐‘’ ๐‘…๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘’'๐‘  narration. She is new to me and I absolutely loved her.

It's been a bit since I listened to him narrate a story and it was like coming home! He truly brought the grumpy Everett to life for me. His voice is....*chef's kiss*! Together, these two narrators were a powerhouse duet!
โ€Œ
Again, I say if you're a fan of ๐๐ž๐š๐ค๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ, then you'll want this one in your library. It's instense, it's captivating, it's beautiful.

Romance + Formula 1 Racing? Yes please! I love ๐š‚๐šŠ๐š ๐šข๐šŽ๐š› ๐™ฑ๐šŽ๐š—๐š—๐šŽ๐š๐š'๐šœ work(side note: I met her and she's the sweetest!) and she never fails to captivate me with her writing style. So, to get the chance to listen to this one was fun! 

๐‘ญ๐’๐’“๐’Ž๐’–๐’๐’‚ ๐‘ญ๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ is book 1 in her new series, and it was amazing! I had so much fun getting to know Lex & Posey. The chemistry between these two is absolutely off the charts! What was to be just a fling......well, it was so much more! 

I loved that Posey was a romance author. Going "undercover" as a journalist, she meets Lex, one of the F1's playboys. Their story was filled with the thrill of adrenaline & the heat of their chemistry and having front row seats to their "secrets" was so fun. The banter between them was perfectly executed and made the story so good! 

It's been a while since I listened to ๐พ๐‘–๐‘ก ๐‘†๐‘ค๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘› narrate but she nailed it, as always! She captured the essence of Posey beautifully! ๐‘†๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘  had quickly become one of my favorite male narrators and portrayal of Lex was awesome! He brought the banter and the swagger needed for a F1 playboy and together these two did a phenomenal job breathing life to these unforgettable characters! 

If you love racing romances and stories about characters who are authors, don't miss this one. You'll need to buckle up because the ride is fun, wild and filled with heat! Can't wait to read/listen to the next installment of this series!
